You awaken god only knows how much time later after being besieged by the worst of nightmares involving the most insane things that a human mind can conjure. As your eye snap open and you sit up you feel a cold sweat breaking out all over your body. It takes you for a moment to get your bearings but once you do it becomes clear that you've been transported somewhere. What looks like a small room dug into stone is illuminated by fluorescent fungi that have been placed everywhere almost like houseplants. They all possess the same green glow as the flames you witnessed before.
"What the-"
Looking down you see that you're in a bed of sorts, though calling it that is generous. It's little more than a collection of skins, furs and plant matter gathered in one place to provide soft bedding. At least you were given a blanket. As you're about to leave you feel someone grabbing hold of you. It's Pepe lying next to you and shivering, though not from the cold. She's likely suffering from similar nightmares as you did. The two kids that followed you into the tunnel are also here but they were provided their own little bed area on the ground. There are just two things missing. Your weapons. After listening carefully you determine that they are close-by but in another room. You contemplate leaving to get them but there are two things stopping you. Pepe who feels like she needs you right now and the sound of someone standing between you and your weapons. And their footsteps are quickly approaching you. Tucking your prosthetic hand behind your back and unfolding it to reveal the hidden wapometal spike in it you get ready to shank whoever or whatever enters through the door of the room. But as the door opens you are so surprised you forget to shank the person stepping through it.
"Ah! I heard you're awake brother-friend! You must be hungry! I brought you some soup!"
The thing that entered the room was no man nor demon. It was a big ass talking rat that walked on two legs.
You cock your head to the right.
"Who are you?"
"YOU DON'T REMEMBER?! You broke-destroyed my gas mask!"
"Gas mask?"
"Yes. See?"
He takes from the broken protective gear that he was clearly trying to fix not too long ago.
"Anyway sorry for burn-scorching your face brother. I thought you were another one of those filthy human-things! I brought your brood-mate and your two pups here where it's safe. Now eat-eat! We have much to talk-converse about!"
He places a bowl of what looks like toxic sludge with bits of mushrooms sticking out of it. How do you respond?
>With gratitude
>With enthusiasm
>With outrage
>Other?
